''I Was A Troll, Full Stop. And I Am So Sorry'': Chrissy Teigen On ''Horrible Tweets''

"There is simply no excuse for my past horrible tweets," wrote Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen has broken a month-long social media silence with a blog post apologising for her "past horrible tweets". This is the first time that the US model has addressed allegations of online bullying after apologising to Courtney Stodden on Twitter in May. Courtney Stodden -- who gained international attention after marrying 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison at the age of 16 -- in March highlighted several tweets that Chrissy Teigen had shared in 2011. "I hate you," read one of the tweets. In another, Ms Teigen told the then-teenager to take a "dirt nap". Courtney Stodden also alleged in an interview with the Daily Beast that Chrissy Teigen had encouraged them to kill themselves in private messages.  The Courtney Stodden controversy made Chrissy Teigen a target of 'cancel culture' as several of her endorsement deals fell through. She faced massive backlash on social media with people criticising her behaviour as bullying.  On Monday, Chrissy Teigen, 35, shared a lengthy Medium post in which she apologised for the tweets and said she was reaching out to the people she had insulted. In the post, she ruminated on "the crushing weight of regret for the things I've said in the past". Without naming Courtney Stodden, she wrote: "I've apologized publicly to one person, but there are others - and more than just a few - who I need to say I'm sorry to.
